⟪ Your level has risen ⟫
⌜ Ooooohhh !!! I levelled up ! ⌟
It was pretty weird that I didn't level up after I killed those slimes and only now I levelled. And it was all at once too…
⌜ Wait… Look at the time already ! I still hasn’t done my assignment due tomorrow !⌟
And so I logged off for the day.

⟪ Welcome back to Half Reality dear player ⟫
I was greeted by the system message as I logged in again. This time, I decided to go to the city… or at least that’s what I planned but I just realised this game doesn’t have a map function…
⌜ What do i do now… ⌟
⌜ I suppose the only way is to just randomly walk and hope i find some landmark to guide me or to encounter any player/npc to ask for direction.⌟
Thus, begins my journey. I walked for 2 hours northeast from where I was before. I picked up multiple herbs and plants that just look interesting and kill any monster along the way… However, I only ran into slimes. It was good practice though.
***
⌜ I have been on the road for 5 hours now and i still haven’t find anything or anyone… ⌟
Just as I was muttering to myself, closer and closer, a horse pulled carriage came towards me. It came closer and stopped besides me and a middle aged man peek out from inside the carriage.
⌜ Young man… Are you lost ? What are you doing out here without proper equipment? This area is dangerous for someone like you.⌟
I replied ⌜Yes sir, when i woke up, i found myself laying on the grass. I don't know where I am, can you tell me the direction to the nearest town , sir ? ⌟
⌜ Poor you… Well, the nearest town from here is 1 hours away. Just follow this road and you’ll get there. Are you sure don’t need anything else ?⌟

⌜ Hmmm… I suppose that some food would be helpful because i hasn’t eaten in a while.⌟
The man was kind enough to give me some dried meat and let me take a sip of water from his canteen. I gave my thanks and we parted ways. I continued following the path until I reached the mentioned town.

After hours of walking, I finally reached a town…
⌜ Maybe i should’ve choose to start in beginner town as i first play…⌟
I looked back on what i’ve achieved so far so maybe this isn’t so bad either.
So I just brushed off that issue and entered the town.
Thankfully, the guards at the entrance didn’t ask me anything, they just monitored who comes in and out of the town.
First priority, I should know about this town layout so I could navigate my way around after this so I went and explored every nook and cranny I could access in the town.
I found a shop that I could sell the herbs I have from a local street hawker i talked to so i went to find it. The location of the store was a bit odd because it was hidden away from a public road between alleys. I knocked and entered. I was greeted by an old man in his 60s reading a book without a care in the world.
⌜ Excuse me sir, i came here to sell some herbs i has … ⌟
The old man didn’t reply to anything. I don’t think this old man noticed that someone entered his stores… I pull down the book he’s reading and now we’re staring at each other eye into eye.
⌜ What do you want you punk ? You’re disturbing my reading.⌟
I pulled out some of the herbs from my inventory and put them on the table.
⌜ I want to sell this herbs sir, i heard that your store buys them⌟
The old man inspected them and counted them and then sorted it.
⌜ I’ll buy all of this for 3 gold,1 silver and 30 copper. Take or leave.⌟
I agreed blindly not knowing how much the herb is actually worth.
